The Cartographers’ Guild is a forum created by and for map makers and aficionados, a place where every aspect of cartography can be admired, examined, learned, and discussed. Our membership consists of professional designers and artists, hobbyists, and amateurs—all are welcome to join and participate in the quest for cartographic skill and knowledge.

Although we specialize in maps of fictional realms, as commonly used in both novels and games (both tabletop and role-playing), many Guild members are also proficient in historical and contemporary maps. Likewise, we specialize in computer-assisted cartography (such as with GIMP, Adobe apps, Campaign Cartographer, Dundjinni, etc.), although many members here also have interest in maps drafted by hand.

Fun with Fur Filter (PS)

During the search for a shape of a new continent I've played with the different filters from the free EyeCandy plugin. The link to this is somewhere in the tutorial section. Here is the result I've achieved with the fur filter. Depending on the scale you can use parts of the generated pattern as mountain ranges or coastlines for iso maps. This can be useful for the handdrawing guys to save time.

Here are the steps:
- create a new layer, fill black
- filter->render->clouds
- filter->render->difference clouds (a few times)
- new layer->50% grey, hard mix
- go back to the clouds layer filter->EyeCandy->fur and try different settings
- the final patterns look better with a light Gaussian blur

I never found a use for that filter but now that you've done this I could see it being used for ISO cliffs and things like that. Way to go, man.

If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.
